Are there any quick solutions for climate change? - The Climate Question podcast, BBC World Service

Climate change can seem like a daunting problem, so we’re asking if there are any “quick fixes” out there! Click here to subscribe to our channel 👉🏽 https://bbc.in/3VyyriM In this episode, The Climate Question does something a little different. Hosts Graihagh Jackson and Jordan Dunbar stage an imaginary cabinet meeting, with three “ministers” competing to deliver policies with the biggest climate impact in just five years. Climate scientist and YouTuber Adam Levy, aka Climate Adam, pitches cuts to methane – the powerful greenhouse gas emitted by food and farming. Radhika Khosla, an urban climatologist and adviser to national governments, argues building smarter and reducing air conditioning are the fastest levers. And Jordan steps into the role of Transport Minister to make the case for buses, bikes and less traffic. Together, the Climate Question cabinet explore whether these quick fixes are enough – and why, if they’re so effective, they aren’t already happening. Have you got a question for us?
